PWM STEP-UP DC/DC CONVERTER
RH5RH ×× 1A/ ×× 2B/ ×× 3B SERIES
OUTLINE
The RH5RH ×× 1A/ ×× 2B/ ×× 3B Series are PWM Step-up DC/DC converter ICs by CMOS process. The RH5RH ×× 1A IC consists of an oscillator, a PWM control circuit, a driver transistor (Lx switch), a reference voltage unit, an error amplifier, a phase compensation circuit, resistors for voltage detection, a soft-start circuit, and an Lx switch protection circuit. A low ripple, high efficiency step-up DC/DC converter can be constructed of this RH5RH ×× 1A IC with only three external components, that is, an inductor, a diode and a capacitor. These RH5RH×× 1A/ ×× 2B/×× 3B ICs can achieve ultra-low supply current (no load) –TYP. 15µA –by a newly developed PWM control circuit, equivalent to the low supply current of a VFM (chopper) Step-up DC/DC converter. Furthermore, these ICs can hold down the supply current to TYP. 2µA by stopping the operation of the oscillator when the input voltage > (the output voltage set value + the dropout voltage by the diode and the inductor). These RH5RH×× 1A/×× 2B/×× 3B Series ICs are recommendable to the user who desires a low ripple PWM DC/DC converter, but cannot adopt a conventional PWM DC/DC converter because of its too large supply current. The RH5RH×× 2B/×× 3B Series ICs use the same chip as that employed in the RH5RH×× 1A IC and are provided with a drive pin (EXT) for an external transistor. Because of the use of the drive pin (EXT), an external transistor with a low saturation voltage can be used so that a large current can be caused to flow through the inductor and accordingly a large output current can be obtained. Therefore, these RH5RH×× 2B/×× 3B Series ICs are recommendable to the user who need a current as large as several tens mA to several hundreds mA. The RH5RH×× 3B IC also includes an internal chip enable circuit so that it is possible to set the standby supply current at MAX. 0.5µA. These RH5RH×× 1A/×× 2B/×× 3B ICs are suitable for use with battery-powered instruments with low noise and low supply current.

Error Amp. (Error Amplifier) has a DC gain of 80dB, and Phase Comp. (Phase Compensation Circuit) provides the frequency characteristics including the 1st pole (fp=0.25Hz) and the zero point (fz=2.5kHz). Furthermore, another zero point (fz=1.0kHz) is also obtained by the resistors and a capacitor connected to the OUT pin.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
Absolute Maximum ratings are threshold limit values that must not be exceeded even for an instant under any conditions. Moreover, such values for any two items must not be reached simultaneously. Operation above these absolute maximum ratings may cause degradation or permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and do not necessarily imply functional operation below these limits.
